Review of Strike One

This film not only moved me, it truly made me think on how our society has flaws that can affect the outcome of an innocent child. It is moving, tensed, and keeps you wanting to know what happens next. I love films that do that. It shows you the love of a family and the lack of. What it takes to be a family in East Los Angeles. How one misunderstanding can turn your life around while another life is overlooked on the harm they do simply because of the status in their community. You have a rich white lawyer who has an addiction to drugs and is allowed to go through life without suspicion, yet a young Hispanic kid associates with gang members in his neighborhood and this makes him guilty of everything, because the law says he did. This film is truly a must watch.
